Laboratory classes are an essential part of an engineering course. Laboratory sessions are primarily designed to develop proficiency in technical skills, offer an opportunity to place theory in context, develop critical thinking skills and promote investigation-based learning. Laboratory experiences will help to develop as independent learners, researchers, critical thinkers, and generators of knowledge. There are several improvements that need to be implemented to improve student laboratory experiences. The purpose of this research is to integrate with end semester examination in view of requirements of the 21st century. This paper highlight the evaluation system which is robust and dynamic as compared to the traditional evaluation system. This research is based on the feedback collected from industrialists and academicians on the present examination system. The paper has come up with the result that 50 % of academicians are of the opinion that examination paper patterns should include the laboratory-based question. The paper highlights the curriculum design aspect related to the question paper setting. The paper brings some critical points related to the integration of laboratory conduct and evaluation system with end semester examination.

Abstract


Laboratory classes are an essential part of an engineering course. Laboratory sessions are primarily designed to develop proficiency in technical skills, offer an opportunity to place theory in context, develop critical thinking skills and promote investigation-based learning. Laboratory experiences will help to develop as independent learners, researchers, critical thinkers, and generators of knowledge. There are several improvements that need to be implemented to improve student laboratory experiences. The purpose of this research is to integrate with end semester examination in view of requirements of the 21st century. This paper highlight the evaluation system which is robust and dynamic as compared to the traditional evaluation system. This research is based on the feedback collected from industrialists and academicians on the present examination system. The paper has come up with the result that 50 % of academicians are of the opinion that examination paper patterns should include the laboratory-based question. The paper highlights the curriculum design aspect related to the question paper setting. The paper brings some critical points related to the integration of laboratory conduct and evaluation system with end semester examination.
